The distribution of the Black Rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) has shrunk drastically within historical times in Botswana. As indicated by the records of early travellers, hunters, and missionaries, the species was once widespread and probably only absent from the very dry central and southwestern Kalahari. Smithers (1971) summarizes those early accounts.
